Q&A + Picnic Date | where i'm from, how we met, why i started youtube

I debated whether to do a voiceover or a completely silent q&a, but then I thought it's pretty tiring to stay focused and read an entire q&a (or at least I find it super tiring), so I decided to do a voiceover that you can treat like a podcast and put it on the side while doing something else. Or if you would like some ~ visual spice ~ you can watch me making wraps for a picnic date Pat & I are going for (ᵔᴥᵔ)
Either way, I hope you enjoy this chatty q&a and got to know me a little better :)
I'm sorry I couldn't answer every single qn as the video would've been too long! If you liked this q&a and this format, leave me a comment to let me know and I'll do a part 2!
p.s. if you hate the sound of my voice, you can mute the video and read the subtitles that i took hours to type out lol 😆
p.p.s. yes, i did burn the egg accidentally
p.p.p.s. it was still yummy nonetheless :p

I'm so happy to see you taking a break to heal from last year's burnout , hope it has been a good process so far and your awesome ❤️

[@cloudyhills]

[@mayamirza839]

Hi Hills… glad I found your vlog… I enjoy your vlog very much. Keep up your good work and keep inspiring other. I love ‘spirited away’ too .. it was my first gibli movie.. because my children like it, specially my daughter, when she was around 9 or 10 yrs old. …. Remember .. keep upload your vlog hehehhe

[@catchmecrossing]

Beautiful video, love your honesty, so refreshing. More of these voiceover videos please! 🤗💛💛💛

[@maddscientist3170]

very interesting and useful background

[@lifesgood2244]

I'm an INFP-T myself and I can totally relate with the "I lose focus very easily." I just discovered your videos and the aesthetic is just so calming and relaxing. I'm 152cm and I know the struggle of being called smol :) I hope you continue to make many videos and that your audience grows bigger.

[@emmajane8393]

You are so fun! And I love the whole vibe of your apartment, art, and by extension whole channel! Can’t wait to binge watch all your videos… :)

[@cloudyhills]

:D yay i love hearing that!

[@jokb93lolplayer]

This is so adorable👩‍❤️‍👨

[@Chibimaru.]

Omg i love how pats the one asking the questions. Turns out so CUTE !! Also LOVE that you are a Capricorn … like me !! It’s funny how I subscribe to many Capricorn KZbinrs… 🤔😆 I have a question here !! 🙋🏻‍♀️ is Pat always okay with your makeovers/decorations etc, or is he more the “I let you do this” kinda guy? Do you fight about it? 😝 I’m loving your videos, I’ve been binging them and I can’t wait for the next ones to come. BUT I also love the fact that you do it your own pace. I think it’s very healthy of you not to put too much pressure to post regularly (at least I hope you don’t) ❤ love from a France-born-Japanese-who-moved-to-Switzerland 🤍❤️💙

[@saimazoya8437]

[@debgibson5570]

I love hearing your voice...so cute!!! please speak more in your videos... its hard to try to read your inserts and then I lose track of watching what you are doing. I loved the video Q & A...more please. waiting for part 2. question- Why did you move to Germany? is Pat in the military...or what does he do for work since you share an office with him?

[@anaarandalopez1556]

You and Pat are the cutest! ❤️ Id love to see more videos like this, its nice to get to know you 😊

[@jungjinri2346]

I loveee it! i don't why but after i watched your video, I have a little bit of courage and intend to start youtube too. I don't know when, but I hope it's soon.

[@jessiz-]

wow awww my heart feels so warm and cozy watching / listening this video 🥺 I loved the casual format of this q&a with your lovely voiceover with food prep + picnic! the quick-fire answers with you and Pat was also adorable, especially hearing you two laughing throughout. I'm really curious about your experience living in Germany as an expat! thank you for sharing this lovely slice of your life!! 💗💕 - fellow small Asian INFP-T

[@TheMrsBooBoo]

hellooo fellow Singaporean!!! I am so glad that your KZbin channel is growing so quickly because u really deserve the views and the subscribers from your quality content and editing style. really love the way you edit the videos, so interesting and relaxing to watch. It is also nice to see how you live your life overseas! all the best!!

[@malspring]

love your makeover contents Hillary

[@kayenc]

I don't know why~ but your Q&A makes me cry. As a new & small KZbinr, you inspired me!! you said, don't expect anything & don't do it for the wrong reasons.... KZbin is a space that give us inspiration, and I really enjoy it!!!

[@cloudyhills]

Keep going ❤️

[@swanliz]

Just thanks 🙏 I decided to be your silent fan for awhile or maybe much longer than necessary 😆 good luck to you, enjoy life, be healthy and keep safe always 🥰

[@ann3555]

U know...I'd only discovered your channel last Friday... and I find myself watching at least one or two of your vids per day! Enjoy your vids so much...and always find them inspiring and fun!

[@maymyatnoe6111]

I really love to enjoy your videos and I kept watching your videos again & again. Btw both of you are the sweetest couple ever haha.

[@by_the_wooden_swing]

thanks for the video, really enjoyed it

[@dhenukita]

I love your content! I’m sooo glad that KZbin picked up your algorithm! I know what you mean about craving Asian food in Germany - I was in the US for three years and I craved my mum’s cooking, simple South Indian food all the time I was there! Hugs to you both. ☁️☀️

[@Princelossa0721]

You has a sweet voice Hill! I am really into your vlogs nowadays. 😍

[@wurongwang7172]

Really like all the videos you made！

[@colourrain1221]

Hehe I’m kinda happy I guessed correctly that you’re from Singapore. Feels both refreshing and a little weird to hear a Singaporean accented English over such calming videos but I love it 😊 I left Singapore in January but nevertheless sending you support from the little red dot 💗

[@cloudyhills]

hehe you did!! sending love to wherever you are now!

[@MarijkeThys]

How do you not have more subscribers, your videos are so soothing to watch and you make each one creative. Really happy I came across your channel.

[@helenlozano738]

I love watching your videos❤️

[@cloudyhills]

yay thank you

[@whitesenbonzakura]

This is currently the best q+a in youtube. At first I'm thinking wether to watch this because I really dont like it when youtuber speaks in front of the cam for a long time (like 5 minutes rant), but since you voice it over, it is really nice listening to it and watching you prepare for picnic. I subscribe to you when you have 12k, but now you already have 15...in just a few days!! Keep up the good work, and love your baulbasaur pot😍

[@whitesenbonzakura]

Nah, it already 18k😅

[@MabelTan]

Hiya Hill! Thanks for sharing

[@anianadelacruz4326]

Youre talented, seem sweet to me based on your voice and inspiring. I had an opportunity to visit Singapore last 2016 and people were awesome.

[@knotmypattern]

I don't usually comment but I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I loved every single room makeover and got curious about your story which is why I just watched this video. I had to smile so many times because I can relate so much! I just recently moved to Germany too and my bf and I are currently trying to make our flat cosy and you are definitely inspiring us! The end of the video made me laugh because we would have given the same answer - I am definitely a night owl as well as I am commenting at 4am right now 😅 Long story short: I love your videos and your positivity and can't wait for all your future videos! :)

[@sairille4233]

aaaaa love it :< u sound so sweet and nice

chance upon your channel and love your aesthetic. decided to watch more of your videos and upon hearing your accent, it sounded sooo familiar. then found this video and my guess was right, you're a Singaporean. hello fellow Singaporean! love your channel and so inspiring!

Ohhh that's why you look like and sound like bubzbeauty! 😍 Same I'm burnout but making videos makes me happy. Hope I can manage my time and film again. Your channel is so inspiring!

Your favourite Singaporean food are mine too! Whenever I don't know what to eat, I'll always default to those. Lol! Anyway, it's so nice to know that your SO is so supportive and encouraged you to upload videos onto KZbin. Wish people around me are as supportive too.

[@cloudyhills]

You have no idea how much I wish I could order those stuff when I'm here and not knowing what to eat!!! Yes im really lucky he's supportive. If you don't have support around you, you should put it the effort and make them see why they should support you ;)
